This second volume of the Book of Ethiopian Maccabees is shorter than the first. Moreover, it appears to be composed at a different time and by a different person, likely during the high medieval period around the 1450's. It again attempts to recount the events of the Maccabee revolt, but with various confabulations in the series of events. In this version a man name Maccabeus makes war against Israel, as a punishment for their transgressions.
